    Big LR4 issue, cut losses and sell vs fix?

    Mine became a naturalized U.S. citizen and now likes Chevron, Miller Lite and guns. She's never going back.

    Can a 2013 LR4 be upgraded to Heavy Duty?

    Always better to be lucky than good...

    Big LR4 issue, cut losses and sell vs fix?

    Interesting what fuel people are attracted to as the "best". I'm a Chevron guy, myself.

    Many thanks.

    High Pressure Fuel Pump Question

    Are there 2? Are they the same part numbers, or different part numbers if they are 2? Sorry, I don't have mine in the driveway right now to crawl under and look. Trying to round up the parts I want to replace while the mill is out.

    LR4 vs Defender

    I have thought of that, just never got around to it. One of those round "wire" types would work just fine once you got your measurements sorted out. @umbertob Does the Defender retain the siphon tube? Top side oil changes are a thing of beauty.

    LR4 vs Defender

    Wonder what you can get that wading depth to once there are some out there to play with in the real world My intakes on the LR4 are at 39" at this point in offroad height, and it has been in water that deep multiple times thanks to the flooding we get in Houston.

    Buying a used high mileage 2010 LR4

    Be our guinea pig. Buy it and LS swap it. Somebody has to be first...;) Seriously, though, I agree with the advice given above. If you can't do anything short of timing belt, engine pull, etc., you can easily get into what most people consider serious money for shop labor. Of course, if...

    Everything about tires for LR4/ LR3 with 18" wheels

    That is the size I run. Serious mods required and recommended. Horns, heater lines, shark fins, EAS harness and probably some others I'm not remembering. Honestly, not sure you could do it with the factory front bumper. Maybe, but i have some doubt.

    Everything about tires for LR4/ LR3 with 18" wheels

    Wheels get mangled in real terrain. No real way around it. It's a badge of honor.

    Another Defender hint?

    I like their question at the end. Where's the second battery going to go...

    Questions about new purchase

    If you have any mechanical expertise at all, I wouldn't pop for $7,500.00. You biggest failure modes are timing chains (a $5,000ish give or take job) or a complete engine failure (mega bucks). Just about everything else can be done by a guy with a few beers and some tools. My fervent...

    Another Defender hint?

    I still have some hope the 130 might be a viable replacement if it actually comes to market here.

    Another Defender hint?

    You guys would have really lost your sh!t if you were into P-cars back when they released the Cayenne. People were ready to slash throats and burn buildings. Is it the Defender i hoped for; no. Is it about what I expected from JLR; yes. I don't begrudge anyone who gets one, and I wish...

    Questions about new purchase

    You make good points. They are expensive to run. Period. Of course the first car I ever bought myself after college was a used Porsche, so it can be done. I taught myself a lot working on that car. It just sucked to be up to 3a.m because you needed to drive the damn thing to work tomorrow.

    Thoughts on 2021 Bronco as LR4 replacement?

    I hear you. My pipe dream would be the 5.0L Cummins from my truck in the LR4.

    Another Defender hint?

    Thanks. didn't know that, and I own a 2016 RR. Don't wheel it at all, so have never really torn into it like I have the LR4. I'm sure the structure can be engineered to stand up the rigors of hard use. The question becomes, did they? Time will tell, but I'm guessing it will be fine...

    Another Defender hint?

    Damn, i missed somewhere along the way that it was a unibody only. I thought it was IBF :( It keeps going downhill for me.

    Thoughts on 2021 Bronco as LR4 replacement?

    Until I something comes along where I can sleep in the back, I'm keeping the LR4 through hell or high water (and it has already done the high water part). I doubt you could actually wear out a modern vehicle in most peoples use case. You might need a new mill, but I'm guessing fatigue of the...

    AC stops blowing cold air

    Non-functioning HVAC in Houston is what we call an EMERGENCY.

    Can a 2013 LR4 be upgraded to Heavy Duty?

    I believe Lucky8 has come out with an option as well where they ship you a ready to go locking differential. I assume air locker, but I could be wrong. I remember it being mentioned on one of the forums where gents were discussing how they might have gotten it to work. Give them a call, they...

    Rattle noise at passenger rear - outside the car

    Weren't there some guys at one point that were having trouble with a cracked mounting bracket for a transmission heat shield? It all runs together after a while, but that popped into my head.

    Interesting Overland setup

    That is slick with the struts. I went with a soft backed folding portable panel. I have it set up where I can drape it off the roof in whatever direction the sun is shining from. I have the connection cord routed through the grille and enough wire where it can be draped off of any side of the...

    Can a 2013 LR4 be upgraded to Heavy Duty?

    It has been done. Can't recall if the thread was here or at Overland Portal. I THINK the poster might have been HuyTran or similar, but it has been a while and memory fades. IIRC his biggest issue was getting the padlock icon on the touchscreen to lock/unlock. Hopefully that gives you enough...
